14 DAY TRIAL // Former Bengals cheerleader Sarah Jones rose to fame by having a relationship with Cody York, a high-school student.
Rumors of Jones getting her own reality show on cable channel Oxygen have surfaced. The show is set to chronicle her ongoing romance with her teenage boyfriend.
According to Radar Online, the cheerleader from Kentucky originally denied being involved with the student, but ended up confessing to being in a relationship with him.
The 27-year-old was the boy's high-school English teacher, until news of their relationship reached the school board, and subsequently, law enforcement officials.
In an interview, she apologized to staff, students and the boy's family.
“Yeah, what I did was wrong… And I feel guilty as to what happened and that other people were hurt in this in a sense from our families having to go through this,” she said.
The news is set to leave many unsettled.
“A lot of people are going to be outraged I imagine when they find out she's getting a show. [...] She is basically being rewarded for breaking the law!,” one source says.
However, York is now 18 and she is no longer banned from seeing him. The pair left holding hands at the end of Jones's trial, this month.
Jones pleaded guilty during her trial, and was sentenced to five years of diversion, a form of probation, not having to serve any jail time.
“I began a romantic relationship while he was a student and I was in a position of authority,” she confessed, in court.
She is also waiting for the resolution of $11 million lawsuit that she filed against Nik Richie for defamation. The self-proclaimed Couples Therapystar is being sued for libel and invasion of privacy after publishing an offensive article about Jones, titled “The Dirty Bengals Cheerleader.”
